The Chambersburg boys basketball team will love those statistics even more this season.

That's because a large contingent of the Trojans' roster, led by guard Evan Shreffler, have pledged on social media to donate money amounts per specific statistics they accrue this coming basketball season to help fight pediatric cancer.

Shreffler got the ball rolling with a tweet on Monday, where he pledged to donate $1 for every assist he racks up this season to the school's Mini-THON dance event, which, following the design of Penn State's THON, raises money for Four Diamonds to help combat childhood cancer.

Shrefffler said he saw businesses make similar pledges for Penn State, donating money based on Nittany Lion point totals. NBA players like Klay Thompson and DeAndre Jordan have also made similar pledges this season for hurricane relief.

"I just wanted to build hype for it," Shreffler said. "So I thought it was a great idea."

Shreffler says he expects to be around 60 assists this season, but won't cap his donation if he goes over that mark.

"There are a lot of kids around the world dealing with cancer," Williams said. "I'm excited that these donations will help with that.... I just feel like it's now not just us playing for us as a team, but for those children around the world... and children in Chambersburg."

He says he hopes to eventually go up to Penn State and help out with the Four Diamonds charity in person, but is thrilled that his team has found a way to pitch in from Chambersburg.

"I’m sure it means a lot to them and it means a lot to me to know I️ can help make a difference," Collier said. "....I’m glad that Evan had spoken out about it and started the movement because I️ think it’s a great idea and that as many of us should participate as we can."

Hronis says that the pledges will be a nice added bonus of making smart, team-oriented basketball plays.

"Especially after I [make an assist/three]," Hronis said. "I'll probably think, 'Hey that just helped someone else out, and not just my team,'"

Shreffler also says he wants to convince coach Shawn Shreffler to make donations for charges drawn, but is still ironing out that detail.

For the guard, it's fitting that he chose assists as his statistic to determine the donation.

"I love the feeling of passing to someone and seeing them score," Shreffler said. "I just love assists in general, so I thought, I do it all the time, so might as well do something about it."

The Trojans will kick off their now-charitable campaign on Dec. 2, when they host Palmyra.
